But can a work be all of the above? And if so, what are the strategies involved in beginning to look and think about these forms?Chong will also address the use of written instructions as a method of document for the re-staging of his works, focusing on A Short Story about Geometry, Calendars (2020–2096), Foreign Affairs, God Bless Diana, and The Library of Unread Books and Everything (Wikipedia), which are presently in the collection of the Singapore Art Museum. The talk will be moderated by exhibition co-curator Selene Yap.About Heman Chong Heman Chong is an artist whose work is located at the intersection between image, performance, situations and writing.
